Dmitriy Salita of Salita Promotions proudly announces the signing of super bantamweight prospect Jesse Angel Hernandez to an exclusive promotional contract.
A 26-year-old southpaw from Fort Worth, テキサス州, エルナンデス (9-1, 7 戦績) first came to Salita’s attention last 8月 4, at a Salita Promotions event at the MGM Grand Detroit, そして、ShoBoxの上で暮らします: 新世代, where he sored an impressive TKO 5 over Russia’s formerly undefeated Vladimir Tikhonov (16-0). Tikhonov, a Salita fighter, was overwhelmed by the strength, heavy hands and fearsome body attack of Hernandez.
It was a display of offensive firepower that promoters look for in a prospect.
Hernandez compiled a 68-6 record as an amateur before turning pro in 2009. Hampered by inactivity for five years, due to managerial issues and a shortage of local gyms, he has rededicated his career since returning in 2014.
Hernandez comes from a boxing family and is one of 16 兄弟姉妹. 少年のうち9人はボクサーで、6人がプロになった, ホセも含めて “クレイジー” エルナンデス, 元世界チャンピオンのミッキー・ベイと引き分けを決めた選手, そしてロドリゴ・ヘルナンデス, レオ・サンタ・クルスと唯一引き分けまで戦った選手.
“It’s like a blessing to sign with Salita,” ヘルナンデスは言った. “I feel like we are very good fit. A company with great potential to make hardworking fighters into championship level athletes. I plan on making a name for myself and eventually win a world title.”
A true force in the ring, Hernandez says as he progresses to bigger fights, his relentless style will become even more effective.
“I was made for 12 rounds or more. I have an advantage that will help me reach my plan of dominating the 122-lb. division and eventually move up and hopefully do the same at higher divisions. I would like to fight anybody who holds a title once I get my opportunity. I want to fight whoever is the best when I get to that level. I fear no one. If you have ranking points or a title, I hope to see you in my future.”
“ジェシーはエキサイティングな, aggressive TV-friendly style,” ドミトリーSalitaは言いました. “I am confident that with more fights and exposure he will be on his way to being a big name in the super bantamweight division.”
